Hi guys, I'm here with Meterics and right now we're going to be looking at the AZ8361 Conductivity and TDS meter. This Conductivity and TDS meter is very simple and easy to operate. It features 3 buttons: the on/off button, the hold/calibration button and the mode button at the bottom. Today we're just going to be going over how to operate and turn this thing on and take a quick reading. So stay tuned for further videos where we'll be teaching you how to calibrate all these meters. So like I said, to get started you simply turn the meter on. It's already submerged in our tap water here so right now it is on conductivity, but if you want to switch over to measuring TDS you simply go to the bottom here, switch it over to parts per million and it's easy to switch back to conductivity. You just hit that mode button again and you're back to microsiemens per centimeter. So today we're going to keep it on TDS, so as you can see we're back in parts per million. On the bottom of the meter here you've got the Fahrenheit reading, so that's 76.6 degrees Fahrenheit right now out side the water. You drop it back down in there and you're going to start seeing a TDS reading of 204 parts per million and a water temperature of 76.6 degrees Fahrenheit. You're going to want to move it around a bit too to get rid of any air bubbles. The meter is stabilized at 202 parts per million, so once that's stable you simply hit the hold button then you can record your readings in your notebook or whatever spreadsheet you're going to be recording your findings in and you're ready to go! That's it for today, thank you guys very much.
